Also in 2002, Seal lent his vocals to the song "You Are My Kind", the fourth track on Santana's album Shaman. He also recorded a successful duet with French singer Mylène Farmer called " Les Mots" during that same period. Meanwhile, Seal co-wrote and provided vocals for the hit single " My Vision" from Jakatta in 2002. Since December 2006, Seal has indicated that he has plans to excerpt cuts from Togetherland and make them available for streaming download. Even so, one single was released from the album "This Could Be Heaven" was released in the US and featured on The Family Man soundtrack. The official word was that Seal simply did not think it made the grade, although this conflicts with other reports, that said the album was turned down by the label because producers felt the album would not be commercially successful. After a protracted postproduction period, the album was cancelled. In 2001, fans awaited the arrival of a new album, announced as Togetherland. The album, featuring George Michael and Madonna among others, raised money and awareness in support of the AIDS epidemic by donating all proceeds to AIDS charities. In 1992, Seal appeared on the Red Hot Organization's compilation CD Red Hot + Dance, contributing an exclusive track "Crazy (If I Was Trev Mix)".
He won in three categories: Best British Male, Best British Video ("Killer"), and Best British Album ( Seal). Seal stole the show at the 1992 Brit Awards held at the Hammersmith Odeon, London, with the first hat-trick of wins in the history of the event. In particular, "Crazy" became an international hit in 1991, reaching number two in the UK Singles Chart and number seven on the Billboard Hot 100 in the US. The singles " Crazy", "Future Love Paradise", and his own rendition of "Killer" performed well on the charts. This is attributed to the demand for a produced single rushing the final album edit, and as Seal puts it, producer Horn's "inability to let go".
Two versions of the album are known to be in circulation: the original "premix" version and a second, more common version with an updated mix. Seal subsequently signed to ZTT Records and released his self-titled début album (produced by Trevor Horn) in 1991. "Killer" eventually reached number one in the UK. He then met producer Adamski and performed the lyrics on Adamski's single " Killer". He sometimes asked him, "do I sing well?", to which he often received the response that he sang better than most current artists.
He returned to England, sleeping on the couch of friend Julian Bunster, then a model. In Thailand, he joined a blues band for a while before separating from the group and journeying throughout India on his own. In 1987, he joined Push, a British funk band, and toured with them in Japan. In the 1980s, Seal spent a short time singing in local clubs and bars. He received a two-year diploma in architecture and had various jobs in the London area. He was raised by a foster family in Westminster, London. Henry Olusegun Adeola Samuel was born on 19 February 1963 at St Mary's Hospital in Paddington, London, to a Nigerian mother, Adebisi Ogundeji, and an Afro-Brazilian father, Francis Samuel.

As a songwriter, he received two Ivor Novello Awards for Best Song Musically and Lyrically from the British Academy of Songwriters, Composers, and Authors for " Killer" (1990) and "Crazy" (1991). Seal has won multiple awards throughout his career, including three Brit Awards he won Best British Male in 1992, as well as four Grammy Awards and an MTV Video Music Award.
